Let my meeple go! | Meeple controversies
When I first learned of the trademark claim against Cogito Ergo Meeple and their game Meeple Inc., I was shocked. Since then, I have learned more about trademarks then I ever thought I would need and certainly more than I ever wanted. Most of it is the kind of thing only lawyers understand, but it has lead me to an important question.
Join me while I take a look at the current state of "meeple" and ask the question, are they "meeple" or "meeples"?

PHOTO TOUR Board Game Review and Overview
I've heard Meeples plenty of time, so I use that for plural. But now I want to start using Merson...
Haha! It does have a certain ring to it. 😆
A Merson hahaha! 😂
you make no sense. Elaborate
In 2019, Man vs Meeple did a video on the history of the word “meeple”. In it they put forth that, because meeple is made up of “my” and “people” and “people” is a plural, then “meeple” must also be plural. This video clip probably makes more sense in the full video.
I use meeple as both singular and plural. But I won't argue against someone using the word meeples. I will die on the hill in the argument between LEGO and LEGOs (LEGO is right btw. if you want to emphasize quantity, use Lego bricks or Lego parts)
Good point!
Hand me some yellow Legos<<<<<<<< it needs a S
otherwise ur only getting 1 yellow "Lego"
@@Jueglaryou can see the games!! We filmed this without cinematic with you in mind! 😊
@@inspired2game lol i was listening to him so intently i didnt even think to check thanks im back to look :)
Great video, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Nice explanation, glad the cat enjoys as well (:
Thank you! 😊
@@inspired2game welcome
Fun video. Getting new games to play is great. But getting games to the table regularly is even better! Thanks for reminding me it's been a while since I played Welcome To. It's simple and more ish. Also, I need to make time again for Unsettled this summer! The combination of deadly and tight puzzles with the whimsical writing is delightful. Some of our favourites and reliable games right now are: Expeditions (with the Gears of Corruption expansion), Azul (always competitive and fun) and Planet Unknown (best polyomino in my collection). Honourable mentions to Dune Uprising and Cascadia.
Yes!! I totally agree on Unsettled. The deadliness and whimsy juxtaposed just really works beautifully together. 😁 Azul remains one of my top games and Planet Unknown is our favorite polyomino too! Soo good. I’ve gotta get those back to the table soon. Thanks for watching!
Good video! I do like to see what’s hitting your table. For us we play a lot of Darwin’s Journey and Viscounts. We tend to go back to games that we don’t have to refresh the rules. I’m Canadian too and yes, we do tend to do that a lot! Lol
Thank you!! 😊 I’ve heard great things about both those games!
Hi *waves*
whats that blue and cloud looking game behind ur left ear?? still cant read em :(
😊👋
and the brown one that looks like it has green keys all over the side?
@@Jueglar The top one is Sons of Faeriell, and the one to her right is Vinhos Deluxe Edition.
@@scameron036 i just checked thast not the cloud one?? side of sons of faeriell has a green side
Im def adding donut shop to my WTB list
Sweet!
I need your help as I cannot find any clarifications in Harmonies can I take 2 brown and 1 tree and make a 3 tall tree or can they only be played on ones from previous turns? Hopeing you can help thanks :)
If you pull 2 brown with 1 green you can absolutely make a 3 tall tree immediately with it. 😊👌
TYSM@@inspired2game
I find your reviews insightful and detailed. I love your enthusiasm for the hobby. The only "problem" is that you are responsible for an ever expanding list of games on my "to get" list (but really, only my pocketbook is complaining 😹).
Thanks so much for your kind words!! We really appreciate it! I totally hear you lol. We are looking to get into some culling content into the future, so maybe that’ll help! 😁
I absolutely love my Gentle Rain! Thank you for this review.
Wonderful!
You are both so funny - that was a great review. Sounds like quite the game.
Thank you!
I love your video. Very concise and on point. I was curious about the expansions and you gave quite the overview. Also the video looks good. I'm also jealous of the LOTR table. I'll put that on my dreams personal board haha
Hey, thanks so much! 😁
was able to see the few behind you at the beginning of the video but cant see the lot when you do game play explanation at 2:50 :(
four gardens caught my eye on ur wall thou ima def check that one out
You can look us up on bgg to see our whole collection! 😊
reminds me of unsettled
Unsettled is one of my favorite games right now! I love so much about it.
Just discovered your channel, and I absolutely love your reviews! Thank you for doing these!
Thank you so much! 😁 Glad you have you here!
Love your enthusiastic review. Thanks for the insight! 👍
Thank you so much! 😊
I love love love this! Peaceful Zen and Pretty! I think this game is a wonderful idea like you said to hit that meditative and calming sweet spot. Thanks for sharing! Would love to add this to my collection 🌻🥀
Thanks for watching! 😁
lol found one where the games arnt blurred but the chair is in front of the bottom left row :(
Oh shoot! The last video I finished doesn’t look really blurry. It’s Solar 175 and will be coming out on Tuesday. Let me know if it looks better!
@@inspired2game looking forward to it :)
Thank you for your thoughts on Neotopia! I am glad you liked it 😊 - André Santos
Our pleasure! It’s a lovely game. 😊 Thanks for watching!
Grant Lyon mentioned in his 'Coming to retail in May' video that there will be a Target deluxe exclusive. Sad for Canadians, but at least people in the US should be aware of it if they want to grab that version instead. I'm jelly lol I secured my copy at 401 games, not letting that one pass me by again. Last time it flew off the shelves fast ;)
Oh that’s good to know! Yeah, sometimes you’ve got to act really quick! I’ve missed out on more than a couple of games I really wanted because they sold out too quickly.
Cant wait to pick this up when its available in Canada. I'm one of the many who have been pestering Kevin Wilson about getting it reprinted. Thanks for bringing more attention to this chill game
Our pleasure, thanks for watching! 😊
Thanks for showing this small gem.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching! 😊
Thank you for making such a concise and clear overview!
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching! 😊
Oh I want those dice!!!! So going to back this one!!! Backed :) wish I could have afforded the Glow in the Dark too - but that's okay. They are 303% funded so that is fantastic. I can't wait to get them.
Hope you enjoy them! 😊
Aaw - that was a short blooper ;) . Oh gosh this looks fantastic. I am definitely going to look for her kickstarter for the 2025 calendar. Thanks so much for this awesome review. Oh my gosh - went to your link and the campaign was over - but wait - there's more - I was overjoyed when I saw I could back her as a "late backer" - I can't wait to receive my calendar in the fall time ;)
Her artwork is beautiful isn’t it? 😁
I love Robo Rally so it is great that they have other expansions! It was so much fun to play.!!! Thanks for reviewing the expansions.
We’ll have to play again sometime!
Oh my gosh this looks like such a fun game. I absolutely can't wait to play it. Thanks so much for the great review.
Thanks for watching! 😊
I love the art work in the game. Thanks so much for a great review.
Thank you! 🤗
really does sound like an awesome game.
Tons of fun! 😁
Wow - that is some game!!! I would really like to play this with you! Thanks for the great review
When it fulfills, we’ll be happy to play it with you! 😁
Well, it sounds absolutely fantastic. Hi praise from both of you and it is a game I will definitely take a look at! Thank you.
We can play sometime! 😊
You guys are so much fun - lol!!! This game looks great :) thanks so much for the review.
Thank you! 😁
I love your videos my only complaint would be you always blur your games on the shelf i love checking what people own and looking for stuff that catches my eye is how i find most the games i buy, would love to be able to read the names on them.
Thanks so much!! 😊 I totally get that. That’s why we have always filmed in front of our game shelf; we love looking at games behind people too. Right now we’re filming in cinematic mode, which blurs it on its on. But, we’ve only been doing that this past year. If you check out some older videos, you can see all the games! Just keep in mind they’re older. 😆
@@inspired2game np with older games most my favs are older :) lol keep up the good work.
Thank you! 😁
Great video! I got the Revised version, but nice to know the difference from the 1st version.
Thanks so much! 😊 Have fun with it!
such a wonderful & wholesome review. awesome work!
Thank you kindly! 😁
I like how you really showcased how beautiful this game is. Right off the hop that's a draw for me is that the game is "sturdy" haha and pretty! I enjoyed hearing your overall review of this game. tfs
Thank you so much!! 😊
Thank you for the video 😄. Do you know when this is coming to local retailers in Canada?
Thanks for watching! 😊 Unfortunately I don’t know when, but hopefully soon! I believe our local FLGS had the first one but sold out pretty quickly. It looks like this one is currently at Game Shack (looking at The Board Game Oracle). 19.99.
Sounds like something I would like!
Thanks for watching! 😊
Have you tried the Kinfire Delve games yet?
I haven't but after seeing this video it makes me want to check it out for sure!
I own this one and really need to get it played! Thanks for the overview of the game - and the reminder.
You’re most welcome! Thanks for watching! 😊
This is a great game! We play this one a lot.
Do you play with the expansion?
@@inspired2game Yes, we play with the Cold Waters expansion. Looking forward to getting the Coral Reefs expansion too.
@@Mimi-canice!!
Do you know anything else about the expansion? The first expansion fixed some balancing issues and made the game a lot better overall.
I didn’t know that! I heard it’s really great with it; we’re totally going to look into it! 😊
It's so pretty! It looks really amazing too. It seems like there isn't a lot of "take that", which, as a more cooperative gamer, makes me happy. It looks really think-y too, which I love. Now I have another game to save up for, thanks...😉😎
Yes! Interaction is low, which is something we love too. I hear it’s even better with the expansion, but we haven’t tried that. 😊 Thanks for watching!
NEW VIDEO
😁🙌 Thanks!
Sagrada is a very cute game. Splendor is the most cozy game for my family. We often play. Sunset over water... looks delightful, but empty inside...
Nice!! We haven’t played Splendor. It’s great to have a go-to cozy family game. 😊
Awesone video guys! Thank you ❤
Thank you Asaf! 😊❤
Can so-called influencers please STOP playing accompanying soundtrack that drowns their voice? 1:00 lol that dude explains like newsreaders were reading the news in the sixties. Could well be a distant relative of carl sagan.
Thanks for letting us know it was drowning us out; I haven’t received that feedback before (so far I’ve only received positive feedback about the music). I put it on at 3% volume and it’s hard to judge though when it’s just the right volume. Apologies you had trouble hearing us. Thanks for watching.
@@inspired2game the right volume is zero if you ask me. If I want to listen to music I'd prefer to have a choice. If I want to gather information on a topic that interests me I don't need music. For those who love your soundtrack - fine, people are different. I found a workaround - mute your video and read the generated subtitle/ caption thing. I did use music myself but that was when I was not speaking but showcasing slavic figures. Do it consciously.
Thank you!
To be honest I think that when you're commenting, your language can be a bit more subtle. It might be hard to 'read the intonation' with just words, but for someone who's reading this comment, it's really not pleasant and there's a way of saying things. Lola and Sean are doing their best so give them a break and be a little less harsh when commenting.
@@assafhirsch2240 They took it well I think. If you go with this idea of yours into social media you'll have a hard time. Not everyone is capable of your diplomatic skills. In my country or should I say bubble, it's not even a thing.
